Our Story

Peppermint Oil

Though native to temperate regions of Europe, Asia and Africa, peppermint is now widely cultivated worldwide. It is thought to be a naturally occurring hybrid of wild mint varieties. The oil is a pale liquid, and its main constituents are menthol and menthone. This oil has a strong, refreshing, mint aroma with underlying herbal notes. It has a refreshing and cooling effect on the skin, and a clearing effect on the mind.

We use peppermint oil in our products we want to refresh your skin and mind, like in Mask of Magnaminty face mask, and Wiccy Magic Muscles massage bar. When you use these products, you’ll notice the strong, fresh mint scent right away, and when you put them on your skin you’ll soon feel the cooling effects of the peppermint oil. Head to toe you’ll love the effect peppermint has on you and your body.
